"Harrison Burgeron" is the short story of an event taken place in 2081. The government has taken control of everything and made uncanny laws. For example: If you are better looking than most people, the government makes you ugly by doing things such as putting a mask on you or shaving your eyebrows. Another example is that inteligent people were put restraints on to keep them from thinking. There is a specific individual who is more inteligent and handsome than any other human on the planet. He had been put in jail for plotting against the government. And unfortunatly for them, he breaks out of jail and causes a huge corruption. ( )
